Please note on the following time sheet (for the Dec. 21, 2008, to Jan. 3, 2009, pay period):
On Nov. 18, Father Dease announced in the Scroll that he is giving UST employees two extra days off so the university can shut down the week of Christmas. This benefit is for all benefit-eligible staff and temporary employees (on-call and student employees are not included with this gift).
The two gift days will be paid as Excused Days Off (similar to snow days) not as a holiday.
Here is how to enter these days on employees' time sheets:
- Monday, Dec. 22 – Excused Day Off
- Tuesday, Dec. 23 – Excused Day Off
- Wednesday, Dec. 24 – Christmas Eve holiday
- Thursday, Dec. 25 – Christmas holiday
- Friday, Dec. 26 – New Year's Eve holiday (observed)
- Thursday, Jan. 1 – New Year's holiday
If you are an essential employee who is required to work on Monday, Dec. 22, and/or Tuesday, Dec. 23, your hours worked should fall under base pay and the two gift days from Dease should be scheduled and paid on another day (these days should not be paid in addition to your worked time). The excused gift days do not count toward the 40 hours needed before overtime can be paid. The excused gift days must be taken by June 30, 2009.
